High Salary PG

Damian Lillard-Portland Trail Blazers (8,500): Even though he had been having a slow series, Lillard stepped up in the 4th quarter of Game 5 as the Blazers got a big win on the road in LA over a injury-laden Clippers team.  Lillard finished with 22 points and five assists on his way to 38.25 fantasy points which gives him at least 30 in each of his last three games. Lillard has the potential to go off for 40+ fantasy points but has only reached that plateau once in this series. However, tonight at home with a chance to close out the series, I think he’ll help his team land the finishing blow. The Clippers don’t have anyone who can slow him down on defense after losing Chris Paul.

Kemba Walker-Charlotte Hornets (8,300): Walker came up huge for the Hornets in Game 4 finishing with 49 fantasy points on 34 points and adding four rebounds, two blocks, and two steals. He didn’t follow that up with another big game, though, with just 14 points and 32.25 fantasy points in Game 5.  Charlotte did get the win, though, so they have a shot to close it out at home tonight against Miami.  Walker has alternated big games and games when he struggled shooting throughout the series, so he should be due for a big game tonight and I think he’ll come through for Charlotte again.
